PEEENNIALS AND HARDY VINES. 



Please print a list of perennials and 

 hardy vines, the seed of which I can 

 SOW now and have plants in 3-inch 

 pots ready for sale in the fall of this 

 year, selling what is left next spring. 



H. S.— Pa. 



Some perennials which will make 

 good sized plants for fall sales are the 

 following: Papaver orientale and P. 

 nudicaule, Pyrethrum roseum, Tritoma 

 grandiflora, sweet williams, Canterbury 

 bells, though these are really biennials, 

 and foxgloves. The last three are pop- 

 ular sorts. As they are strong grow- 

 ers, they will need larger sized pots 

 than the others and will do better if 

 planted in nursery rows. Other suit- 

 able kinds are: Malva moschata alba; 

 Lychnis Haageana, L. Viscaris splen- 

 dens and L. Chalcedonica; Lupinus 

 polyphyllus, blue, white and rose; holly- 

 hocks, field-grown preferred; Hibiscus 

 Crimson Eye; delphiniums, all varieties; 

 Geum coccineum; Gypsophila pani- 

 culata; Coreopsis grandiflora; Aquilegia 

 chrysantha, A. glandulosa and mixed

 and King Edward VII. 



There are few hardy vines which you 

 can start from seed. It is getting late 

 now to grow plants of sufficient size 

 for fall sales. Ampelopsis Veitchii is 

 a popular climber and comes readily 

 from seed; so does Humulus Lupulus, 

 or hop vine. Clematis paniculata 

 comes readily ?from seed, but is of slow 

 germination and does better if field 

 grown. While some other hardy vines 

 can be raised from seed, they are more 

 quickly propagated from cuttings or 

 grafts. You could also raise Ampelop- 

 sis quinquefolia from seed, but A. 

 Veitchii proves the better seller.
